Abstract: A method and apparatus enables selection a communication system when a user of a mobile unit is away from a home system to which it is registered. According to one novel aspect, the visited communication system broadcasts (402) a list of standardized type services including tariff information, which is used by the mobile unit to select a system. According to another novel aspect, the mobile initiates an outgoing call of a non-standardised type service by accessing (502) a candidate system and informing it of the location of the home network and desired service identifier. The candidate system obtains (504) the service information on this service from the home network, and then provides (546) a quotation for a required service. Also, a communication system according to the present invention minimises incoming call costs to the user wherein the home system polls (606) the communication systems within range of the mobile unit to select the best system to provide service.

Abstract: An image enhancing method using a mean-separate histogram equalization method is disclosed. An input image signal is divided into two sub-images in a picture unit according to a mean level of the input image signal. Then, cumulative density functions for each sub-image are calculated. Afterwards, the input sample is mapped into two gray levels, each of which belongs to a first range and a second range, by using a first and a second transform functions defined by use of the cumulative density functions, respectively. Finally, one of two mapped levels is selected depending on the magnitude of the input sample. As a result, the brightness of the given image can be preserved while the contrast is enhanced.

Abstract: A data compression system (200), method, and apparatus
(214) employs an encoder (210) optimized to decorrelate and
make independent from the original signal (202), the
quantization noise produced during signal compression. The
proposed system (200), method, and apparatus (214) supports
high degrees of signal compression, which in turn leads to
lower computational complexity and improved performance.
Because the quantization noise produced during signal
compression is made independent from and non-orthogonal
(i.e., uncorrelated) to the original signal (202), enhanced
filtering is achievable, which in turn leads to
improvements in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the
decoder (220).
